Kiev and Ukrainian Canadian Care Center

Ukrainian Canadian Care Center: Manitoba - The small gilded chapel at the Ukrainian Canadian Care Center, a retirement residence in suburban Toronto, is usually shuttered and dark midweek. But on Thursday, dozens of elderly immigrants and their caregivers gathered to pray for protesters and family back in Kiev, according to Reuters. Among those who showed up for the service, sandwiched between bingo and waffle making, was Antonia Wasyliw, 84, a resident of the multistory senior center. She and another resident have been sewing yellow and blue ribbons to raise money for medical supplies for the protesters in Kiev and By Andrea Hopkins and Rod Nickel At a mid-morning service, a priest from Toronto's Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral, Jaroslaw Buciora, told people the best thing they could do is pray for those back home. He and many others in the Ukrainian-Canadian community, which is estimated to number 1.2 million, are doing more than that, however - everything from sewing ribbons to sending cash in support of the Kiev demonstrators.
